The best bodycon dresses that are perfect for your next night out

This might be controversial, but bodycon dresses are a necessity in any wardrobe. There, we said it. Not only are these figure-hugging dresses curve contouring, but they can also be worn for almost every occasion. Whether it's date night or your birthday, a bodycon dress is a flawless choice to wear on your next night out.

When it comes to how to wear a bodycon dress, honestly - you can't go wrong. You might want to style it with a pair of heels and a clutch bag for a dressier look or throw it on with a bomber jacket and a pair of white trainers for a more laidback 'fit. Whatever you choose, a bodycon dress makes the perfect base to any outfit, dressy or otherwise.

And, when it comes to choosing the best bodycon dress for you, the world is your oyster, because we've put together some unreal dresses from Pretty Little Thing, ASOS and more. There are maxi dresses, midi dresses and mini dresses galore. Not to mention, all the colours you could ever need, from neutrals that recreate the SKIMS look to bold eye-catching colours that are sure to turn heads.

Either way, we're sure you'll look like a bombshell in these bodycon dresses. So, here are some of our favourites to shop on the high street now. You can thank us later.

At New Look and ASOS, this long sleeve black bodycon dress is selling out and it's no wonder why. It's giving effortless off-duty model with a touch of French girl fashion. Style with a red lip for that Parisian look. Très chic.

Oh, we just love the colour of this asymmetric bodycon dress that's trending on Pretty Little Thing. Not only does it feature a one-shoulder fit which is so ridiculously on trend right now, but it also has ruching details that'll highlight all your assets.

The Kim bodycon dress from Missy Empire features a flattering square neckline, a figure-hugging fit and a ribbed knit material to keep you cosy while looking smoking hot. This grey bodycon dress comes in cream and black, and we honestly can't decide which colour we love more.

Over at PrettyLittleThing, this easy-to-wear black bodycon dress is selling fast. Featuring twist detail and puff sleeves, this dress can be styled in so many ways.

We all need a knitted bodycon dress to keep the chill at bay in winter. That's why this bodycon jumper dress from Pretty Lavish is pretty popular with our friends over at ASOS. If you're on a classy night out, why not add knee-high boots and style with a camel coat for a polished look?

The Nolan Dress from Princess Polly looks like it's straight off the rack from SKIMS. This form-fitting dress comes in an on-trend brown or classic black. It features a cute cut-out detail in the back and a wide square neckline for a flattering fit.

Taking inspiration from Maya Jama's outfits as she's been hosting Love Island, this bodycon dress with cut-out sides is a near dupe for her sold-out MÔNOT Cutout crepe halterneck gown (£787.50). We predict this bodycon maxi dress from PrettyLittleThing to follow suit, so be sure to get yours soon.

We love a corset dress, so when we saw this bodycon dress with corset bustier we just had to include it in our list. In an eye-catching hot pink, it features a flattering wrap skirt and gold chain shoulder straps making it a fab little number for a night out with your girls.

Zebra print has seen a resurgence lately and we are definitely not mad about it. We can see a nod to the nineties here with the square neckline, crisscross back, mesh material and lettuce trim. We'd wear this with a brown-toned lipstick and style with a Y2K hairstyle.

If you're a gal who can appreciate a print, this is the dress for you. You'll look as pretty as a picture in this long sleeve midi dress from Envii. We love how this dress has been styled with metallic strappy heels for an edgy look. However, you could also style with pastel blue square-toe heels for another take on it.

Fur and feather trims have been so in this season, and we are quite simply obsessed with the drama. So, this bodycon dress with feathers, appropriately named Stop The Show by Club L London definitely caught our eye.

Sequin dresses might be a little...festive season, but we refuse to give up on them, ok? The party season isn't over yet. From Miss Selfridge at ASOS, this fun bodycon dress in Barbie pink is an unreal choice to wear for your next glam night out.

Is it just us or is this giving Maddy from Euphoria? This bodycon dress with cute ruffle detail also comes in a brighter teal colour if that's more your thing, but we're just loving the softness of this pale blue colour.

A cowl neck is always a stunning choice, so when it's combined with a bodycon dress and embellished with diamante straps, it's guaranteed to be a dazzling success.
